spection and repair'and adjustment, and also shall be easily. assembled, and shall not be exposed to the direct action of the cooling medium in the hopper or jacket.

' Objects relating to mere details will definitely appear from the detailed descrip-.

tion to follow.

We accomplish the objects of our invention by the devices and means described in the following-specification.

The invention is clearly defined and pointed out in the-claims.

A structure constituting a preferred embodiment of our invention is clearly illus trated in the accompanyingdrawing, forming a part of this specification, in which- Figure Iisa perspective view of an in- Y ternal combustion engine embodying the features of our invention. Fig. II is an enlarged de ail vertical sectional elevation taken on a iinecorresponding to line 2'-2 ofFigs. I and III. Fig. III ls an enlarged detail sectionalview taken on a line corresponding to line 3-.3 of Figl II. Fig. .IV

II and III. A In the drawing, all of the sectional vlews are taken looking in the direction of. the

little arrows at the ends of the sectional lines, and similar numerals of reference refer to similar parts throughout the several views.

Referring to the 'lettered ,parts of the drawing, the engine is of thejrnsual construction of gasolene engine, having a based and a cylinder 2, a water jacket 3 open at the tot'p around thehead of the cylinder and provi d with a hopper 4. The hopper 4 is providedwith an external recess 4 in the I Specification of Letters Patent. Application filed June 15; 1912.

tion of the valves and their springs. A port 6 leads to the valve chamber 5, into which opens the intake-valve 7 which is provided with the spring 8. An exhaust valve 9 opens into the exhaust passage 11,"

and is held to its seat by the spring 10. Any usual means are and as our invention does not pertain we have not here illustrated any means for actuatin the exhaust valve. A supply passage 12 rom the carbureter 14 is suitably flanged and connected by capscrew 13, and a pipe 15 is disposed in the passage or aperture 16 through the hopper 4.

See Figs. III andIV, A spark plu 17 is suitable mufiler 18 may be provided.

The different parts of our engine, as the valve,'.mu filer and carbureter are of the usual construction, and .we do. not show details of the same here as they are of any usual 'or' desired construction. Our invention pertains to the particular arrangement of the coolin hopper and the formation whereby the va ves are accessible.

We desire to claim our invention broadly and specifically, as indicated in the appended claims.

Having -thus described our invention, what we claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent is:

1. In an internal combustion engine, the combination with the upright cylinder, of

.a suitable water jacket open at the top, a

cooling hopper connected by suitable flanges to the said water jacket and having.a-;.re-

cess formed in the wall thereof to accommor...

exterior of its casing, for the accommodaprovided for operating the date the valves and having a lateral aperture through which connection to the carbureter ismade, a valve and valve casing and feed connection disposed in said recess in spaced relation to thewall of said hopper coacting as described for the purpose specified.- 2. In a water cooled engine,-the combination with the engine cylinder with jacket open at the top and a cooling hopper, connected b suitable flan e thereto with a recess in tll e wall thereo to accommodate the valves of the engine,'and a valve with casing disposed in said recess in spaced relation to said hopper wall, as speclfied.

3. In a water cooled engine, the combination with the engine cylinder with jacket our hands and seals in the presence of two open at the top and a cooling hopper, with Witnesses.

a recess in the wall thereof to accommodate LOUIS F. SECORD. [11.3.]

the Valves of the engine, and a Valve with BENJAMIN ORR. .[L 5.] 5 casing disposed in said recess in spaced re- Witnesses:
